Did you notice Porzi did not play at the end? Going small and Adedayo was attacking Porzi.

This team is fun to watch. Brown was good. Won't, but could go 82 - 0. I don't think Danny puts this team together. It will be interesting to see team chemistry as the season goes.

He fouled out

He fouled out. On some really ludicrous calls guarding Butler.

Yeah. Ice-Ice told me. I only watched the very end so I didnt know that. I thought we were going small to counter Miami 's 3 point shooting.

Minnesota beat up the Heat in the 2nd half today. Miami ran out of gas after emptying their tanks against us.

I am excited about this team. Very balanced, Jrue looks very mature and smooth which I think we needed. They seem to have a clutch gene early on which builds chemistry. Great stuff.

I actually thought him fouling out might have helped us. I say this only because he was getting abused by Bam. Don't get me wrong though, I'm huge on Porzingis. I think he might end up being the true number 2 on the team when all is set and done.

Yep it seems that’s Porzingis’s weakness, going against an agile tweener big guy like Bam. He’s better off defending a tall, lanky center than a big power forward type. Porzingis isn’t very quick.

Turned on Bucks game to see how they were meshing and they were getting pasted by the Hawks. 30 points in fourth quarter. Players were visibly frustrated. They were playing their starters. Lillard had an 0-for first half. Could just be a blip but you always wonder about how a huge chemistry change like this.

Lillard - 6 pts/6 turnovers..

Yep. Vs last year hes shooting less and Greek is shooting less. Both aren't 100% sure how to play with each other- yet. Plus Beasley is also new.

Middleton was out as well, but if you saw the body language from Lilliard it looked like there were some significant issues. He didn’t look mad at himself, he looked angry at his teammates. The team basically melted down.

Yea Mid out is an issue.

Re: body lang-That's not good. Lil has never played with another All -NBAer and neither has Greek.

I hope they never figure it out lol

Sounds worse than J Brown.

Jaylen Brown: I accept your challenge.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

My dad doesn’t think I’m nuts now as I’ve been telling him the Celtics might be a historically good team with these additions. What a beatdown.

86 and 08 Celtics are the best i've seen.

They have a chance......

0 TOs so far.

 

[jimnance]

Ok so Jaylen Brown was solid- to- good last game.
Tonight? Spectacular.
C's up 30+ after 3. Tatum and Brown both off the chain. Nearly outscored Wizards by themselves.
Probably no more starters. That's good.
I wanna see Pritch go off.
This version of Brown makes the C's the best team in the nba. Period.
Any one of the C's starting 5 can be the leading scorer on any given night.
Tatum is clearly the best player, but damn what a starting 5 this could be!

Both those teams are in the running- but I watched most of the Russell Era.
Especially in the later years of that dynasty, when Hondo had become one of the best players in the league,they were amazing.

I'd settle for him getting a bucket, he's been a black hole so far

Just three games of course, I'm sure he'll find his way

Agreed but amazing how Pritchard does not seem comfortable. He looked OK in pre-season. I don't completely understand Pritchard.
